[speaker not understood], we banned plastic bags in 2007 at all large supermarkets as well as pharmacies across the city. there was no charge for the paper or disposable plastic bags allowed to be used in pharmacies and supermarkets. but in 2012 we expanded the ordinance to apply to all retail establishments across the city. and also implemented a 10 cent minimum charge for all check-out bags whether they be compostable plastic or recycled paper. keep the charge to pay for more expensive compostable plastic bags or the paper bags. and
